Hello, I am from a Family Medicine office. We have a pediatric patient who is in need of the Pentacel Vaccine only for the allergy testing that needs to be done at the patient's specialist office.
Is there a way to bill the patient's insurance for suppling the patient with the vaccine vial (unopened/new).
Local pharmacist states that due to the patient's age (1 year) they (the pharmacy) and insurance will not cover the vaccine.
Anyone come across this?
Due to cost, we are trying to avoid the purchasing of the 1 vaccine. Unsure why the allergist office can't order it themselves. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
